Your Monday Maintenance Tip: Check your spare tire

3

Your Monday Maintenance Tip: Spare tires on pickup trucks and SUVs are suspended underneath the vehicle on a cable, and that mechanism requires regular attention. Lower and raise that under-car spare to check if the cable mechanism works freely.  Spray it with a rust penetrant like WD-40 and then lube with white lithium grease.  If the mechanism has seized, repair it immediately.
